(Book #1 of the Best Friend Series) _____________________________ "Leave me alone," I growl through clenched teeth. The last thing I need is Colten bugging me after he deliberately tried getting me in trouble. "No," he says. I try to push passed him again, but this time he doesn't take it lightly. Instead, I'm pushed against the wall with a debatable amount of force. My back stings from the sensation. Colten leans his forearms on either side of my head, his body pushed against mine making me bite my lip to hold back a moan. Why do I always feel this way around him? "I'm not letting you leave again," he whispers, his eyes darting down to my lips then back to my eyes. "Not again." My breath hitches in my throat as his face gets closer to mine. I don't even try to stop it this time. I let his lips cover mine in such a way my toes curl inside my shoes. Why him? __________________ This is the rewritten version to Relationship With My Brothers Best Friend! I hope you enjoy it just as much as the original.

Her full lips frowned softly but her eyes were filled with amusement. She knew she couldn't beat me, not at this game. "Are you quitting? Are you a quitter?" I mocked getting under her skin. Her lips twitched before she pursed them tightly. The blues of her eyes deepened and she threw me a dangerous smirk. She shuffled and pulled off one of her sandals. Fuck.

"As for you," he stared while walking towards me. His stormy eyes made me feel a certain way. He looks at me as if he is a predator and me his prey. I quickly snap out of my haze and utter "I'm going to go now" very awkwardly. I turn on my heels but before I can go any further, he grabs my wrists and pulls me towards him. His face was inching towards me as his body was closing all gaps between us. His hand creeps up my face to move a strand of my hair and tuck it behind my ear.

I subside my thoughts as I push him away. "I have to go," I whisper, not able to look him in those lukewarm eyes of his...

The bell above the entrance door rung, indicating someone had walked in. "We're closed," I called as I swung my head around to face the door. I froze when I saw a tall tan handsome man dressed in an all-black suit standing by the entrance, power and dominance radiating off of him. I closed my mouth quickly when I realised I was staring with my mouth agape. "I was just wondering where Mr Santiago is?" He asked, an Italian accent lacing his voice. I stared at him for a few a seconds needing time to process that this Italian god was actually standing in front of me, before getting a hold of myself and answering him. ~~~~~ #1 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 #20 𝐦𝐚𝐟𝐢𝐚 #2 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧 #8 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐩𝐚𝐝𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 #3 𝐠𝐮𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 #12 𝐚𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐲𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝 #10 𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐠𝐮𝐲𝐬 #137 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐭 #44 𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 #2 gangs
